The graphics card war of this generation gradually came to an end with both sides using various fancy knife skills. NVIDIA has stabilized its throne in terms of performance, but AMD has also won praise in the mid-to-high-end market through its precise pricing strategy. From this point of view, both sides have a winner and a loser. However, the technology industry is changing with each passing day, and the battle for the next generation of graphics cards is already looming. After all, NVIDIA’s new card RTX 3000 series is coming soon. There are even revelations about the release date, performance, etc. But we know very little about the price. Fortunately, a netizen from China’s Chiphell recently broke the news about the suggested selling price of the RTX 3090. In addition to knowing that the price will start at at least US$1,399, we also know that this generation of RTX 3000 series will not have models such as RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 Ti. At this stage, the highest-end products are mainly RTX 3090:

There have been a lot of revelations about the NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU recently, such as the appearance of the public version of the card, information such as GDDR6X display memory with a capacity of up to 24GB, and information reportedly released on September 1. I believe this information is already well known to graphics card enthusiasts. What is more curious is, what level will the recommended selling price of the public version card be set at? If we look at the RTX 2080 Ti, the flagship card of the previous generation RTX 2000 series, the recommended selling price announced at the time of publication was US$999. Nowadays, the RTX 3090 may break the pricing ceiling of its predecessors, reaching US$1,399. I believe that many friends who are ready to buy the card will be shocked to retract their hands when they hear it.

This information was exposed by netizen wjm47196 on the Chinese Chiphell forum. In addition to the regular version of RTX 3090, which will be priced at US$1,399, the FE version will cost US$100 more, which is expected to be priced at US$1,499, which is about more than 40,000 yuan in New Taiwan dollars. I believe that if you are not a gamer with deep pockets, it will be difficult to buy it easily:

In addition to pricing, it is rumored that NVIDIA intends to cancel the xx80 Ti model. In other words, the RTX 2080 Ti will be the last graphics card model with 80 Ti. The RTX 3000 will not be used at the beginning. It is said that instead, it will be directly digitally advanced to become the RTX 3090. It’s just that this rumor needs to be verified. Although players who intend to equip their hardware to attack the top do not need to pay attention to this. They only need to know how much silver they need to transfer from the magic cards.
However, the change of model may mean that NVIDIA is gradually simplifying the meaning of product models. The simple numbers are easy to understand, and the addition of suffix words such as Ti and Super will ultimately confuse ordinary consumers. However, since the xx80 Ti may be cancelled, will the Ti suffix of Super and other grades also be cancelled? Still an issue worthy of concern:

In addition to this information, what players are most curious about are the detailed specifications. However, this part is subject to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cannot be revealed much before the release time. Although Chiphell netizen wjm47196 believes that the display memory will use the latest GDDR6X specification, the capacity is 24GB, which is consistent with the display memory statement mentioned in Micron’s GDDR6X document for the RTX 3090 graphics card. Therefore, no matter what the display memory capacity finally announced by NVIDIA, at least at this stage, we can guess that the 24GB value is close to the truth.
Considering that the next-generation game consoles Xbox Series At least not quite in line with the demands for next-gen games. The actual situation can only be further clarified after the original manufacturer officially announces it:
